[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
Thanks for the reply. I took it to the Best Buy store and the rep said they won't let me purchase the tie plan.

But I guess I can purchase over the phone?? I brought the Black-Tie pamphlet on the day I purchased my phone. So do I call 1-800-GEEKSQUAD and provide information on my phone?

It says 'Accidental Damage From Handling'

If you drop or spill on your mobile phone in the course of normal use, we'll cover the cost of your repair.

What does 'normal use' mean in this case? Would my case be normal?

If I take it to the local Best Buy after I sign up for the plan over the phone, would I get the new Nexus S at the spot or they send my Nexus S to mainland which I guess would take much longer?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
If you're within the 30 days they generally replace it on the spot but sometimes they send you a new one. It shouldn't take too long. I used to work at Best Buy so here are a few ways you can game their system. You should be able to purchase the protection over the phone, but if not take only the receipt to a best buy and go immediately to the customer service desk tell them you bought the phone and decided after all that the black tie would be a good idea and pay for it. While they're doing everything try to make small talk and find out when the person who is helping either started work that day or when they get off. If you find out they opened, that means they'll be off work around 4 or 5 and come back after then, if they tell you when they're off just come back after that point.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
So on the phone, I would provide basic information such as my personal information, IMEI, purchase date etc..? As long as I purchase the plan before 30th days, I could take the phone on anytime right?

Would you recommend having them install Invisible Shield? I don't want to ever use another wet application protector..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Nah the invisible shields suck. I use Ghost Armor and I go to one of their kiosks to have them install it so they guarantee it. You can see if their is a kiosk near you here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I read the thread about Ghost Armor but I'm afraid it's not available in my state.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Ah, well then I'm not sure. I do recommend one but I'd read the thread about screen protectors in the accessories section because the zagg invisible shield ones are horrible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I talked to them over the phone but they said I would have to take the phone over to the store for them to see..... would this be because I met a bad rep or is this a changed rule perhaps?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Its possible you can't get it over the phone. I'd say just go in with the phone off and don't turn it on just bring in your receipt.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I guess I'll try that, if not I'm just going to get unlocked for $529. I'm paying $30 data plan barely used 30 mb this month.. :o

I called them again and they said the same, so I suppose that is the rule.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Invisible shield is too residuey for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmPTaz09:
Wetness

Putting it in rice works, I washed my nexus one for 30 minutes and it still works today after sitting in rice for a few days
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I sold the phone on eBay. I will buy unlocked Nexus S tonight.

Do you think I should just get Black Tie-In for at least this month and maybe next few in case?

So if I had the black-tie in plan, issue like this would've been covered despite being accidental right?

I guess this will be my last Invisible Shield. I thought I was pretty good at it after doing it successfully for 6-7 times in the past.

I ordered SGP screen protectors.

isnt the first 30 days free of the best buy insurance so just return it. guy was telling me that when people go to sell their phone they stomp on their phone and get it replaced and i think they also cover water damage and no deductable
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I didn't purchase the insurance so yea... I'm thinking of purchasing the tie-in for another NS though. Maybe for first few months.

Where is the liquid damage indicator that you mentioned would turned red?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
You should see a white square when you take off the battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
I purchased the unlocked version tonight. It says 2.3.1 but when I go to settings -> system update, it's up to date. Is this normal? Otherwise, it seems like it's all good.

I remember I received OTA notification for 2.3.2 soon when I purchased my first Nexus S back in early February.

Edit: I installed 2.3.3 manually.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedde:
I am really sorry to hijack the thread but i want to ask something to you guys.

I am situated in greece and i was in the US for a month on vacation, where i bought a Nexus from BestBuy. The thing is that couple of days ago my external speakerphone stopped working, and i need to replace it. So i chatted to the guys in bestbuy and they told me that since i didnt buy a protection plan for it, that they wont change the phone, and i have to talk to samsung about that. Is that true ? Its been 1.5 month since i bought it and i have to send it back to my in-laws to change the phone for me.

I was thinking to take it back to bestbuy and go for another phone, is that possible ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkim0011:
Don't worry about hijacking(?) :D

From what I understand is that they'll most likely give you the new phone if the phone has fault (accidental damages are not covered unless you purchased the black tie-in plan) within 30 days of purchase.

After 30 days, you'll have to call Samsung. They said they'll repair your phone (not replace). So it will take 7-10 days. T-Mobile will only help you with Android related issues and your phone plans.

I talked to Best Buy, Samsung, and T-Mobile in regards to my phone, so I'm pretty sure I'm correct. Hope it helped!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedde:
Damn i wanted to trade it back and get a motorola atrix. Oh well i am gonna be stuck with the nexus for now. Thing is i can repair it myself and change a speaker to save the hassle of sending it back to the us, but what if its not the speaker? :-)
[Nexus S General] rawr4dj:
Ok if u look at the screen shot down below I recorded multiple test on T-Mobiles HSPA+ speeds with one test showing 36 mbps upload and also one saying 16 mbps. I'm confused because I thought the SNS could only handle speeds of 8 something mbps because it's not HSPA+ native like the Galaxy S4G with theoretical speeds of 21mbps. So anyone have any idea why these speeds are showing up? My nexus s is running Gingabread on T-Mobile USA also cyanogen mod 7 RC1 I believe with team whiskeys voodoo color and oc kernel. Here's the pics
[Nexus S General] rawr4dj:
I took these speedtest in a city called Rancho Cucamonga, CA zip code 91739 its a suburb of LA, Cali
[Nexus S General] chadrockey:
I think the speedtest.net test actually seems to cache the data from a server. I had to keep selecting different cities to get accurate results.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Where is the screen shot?

[Nexus S General] Aria807:
Hello 5G ;o
[Nexus S General] jspookss:
Any reason why that would happen?
[Nexus S General] JRG1392:
Somethings wrong...the max speed you should get is around 7.2 down.

[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
If you are using a certain website speed test (I forget the site at the moment) then you get really high fake speeds.

The only accurate test is using the speed test app or fcc speed app.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Not sure why people keep begging for screen shots and yelling fake. It's obvious some sort of caching tampered with the results and they aren't real as HSPA+ on T-mobile is limited to 21mbps and the NS is only HSPA compatible with 7.2mbps...

It happens quite often with speed tests. Even on PCs.

You're getting 3mbps UPLOAD?!?

Since when did T-Mo stop capping at 1? I still consistently get right at 1mbps, every single test, so it's obvious to me that they're capping upload.
[Nexus S General] Nexus MC:
damn 3megs of upload.

Update:

I just flashed the GRI54 radio on top of the current CM7 KANG 2.3.3 release (came out today, see the nightly release thread in dev forum), and my U/D went from 4.5-5/1 to 6.5/3.7. That's a huge increase in both, esp upload!
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
I've gotten like 3-4 sometimes 5mbps upload since I had the nexus s. I live in Atlanta, GA. Its weird because sometimes my upload is alot faster then my download speeds

Nexus S
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I've never noticed anything like a 1Mb/s cap on uploads with either the Nexus 1 or Nexus S. Routinely get 1700+, still.

Downloads on the other hand, I used to get 4Mb/s+, but right after getting the NS, neither my NS or N1 get anything over 2.9Mb/s. I called T-Mobile about it, but they had no answer and no solution.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
note that your specific area, the towers might just be different than other faster areas. for example if tmobile did not increase the backhaul in your area, you may only see upload speeds of a T1 line.

for me my upload capped at 1.5Mbps, never breaks that barrier, likely the tower using a couple T1 lines which i think T1 limit is right at 1.5 or so.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Same as you Roger, best I can get is about 1.5mb up. However, down I get about 6mb after I updated my radio to KB3
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Are T1 lines asynchronous in terms of up/down speed? If not, wouldn't backhaul be an issue both ways?

i understand what you're saying and i really just dont know. from years of seeing my same speed test results, that was the conclusion i came to. we do KNOW that most cell sites are fed backhaul by T1 or T3 lines. i dont know why the download speed would have a cumulative effect while upload does not. maybe some artificial limit posed by the carrier. dont know.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
I get less than 1mb/s download and around 1mb/s upload when using the speedtest app. I'm still running stock un-rooted so I haven't updated radio or anything yet.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
T1 is 1.544 Mbit/s both ways

[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
I live in nyc I got 4.2 down and 1.8 up last night.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Thanks for checking it out. I was in a hurry, and was 90% sure it was. The question was more to lead to my point.

I suspect that historically FAR MORE people use MUCH MORE download than upload, so the carriers aren't as worried about it. It may also just be natural that the down pipes have more traffic than the up. I rarely get faster up than down on any network, and it's usually quite a bit slower on the up side than down, but with T-Mo, the uploads are actually consistently better than I've gotten on AT&T or Sprint. Downloads, that's another story now, AT&T is giving me 33% faster consistently than T-Mo these days.

my gmail app is not deleting emails from my inbox on my computer just on the phone, any ideas how to fix this?
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I assume you have IMAP configured correctly?

Sent from Bonsai v 5.0.3
[Epic 4G General] Symbola:
It's not going to.

One method is to use an email client that support IMAP. Then when you sync your email on your computer, the client will make the changes you have made on your phone and vise a versa.

Google search imap gmail for more info. I can't post a link yet. :(
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
My phone has has had issues with Gmail as of the last month or so.

Would not delete emails on my Gmail account, but would from within the Gmail application.

Read emails sometimes wouldn't be listed in the Gmail application on my phone.

Opening the Gmail application would automatically bring me to the first unread email rather than the inbox.

A simple phone reboot resolved the issues each time. It all usually happened when I had a phone uptime of 25+ hours.

I also don't run into any problems. I use the Gmail app, and when I delete an email out of my inbox on my phone, it instantly happens on the web based email too? I have never configured IMAP, nor any other functions. Just used the stock gmail app that came with the phone.

[Desire General] gaz1888:
Hi first off after reading through forums and getting great advice a few weeks ago on here I managed to root my desire no problem using unrevoked 3.

I installed app2sd and works fine but after further reading I see that app2sd+ when installed and sd partitioned also moves the cache files freeing up extra space that looks far better.

I have only used unrevoked3 to gain root and have not flashed a rom just using standard 2.2 that was on the phone.

My phone says

Bravo pvt4 ship s-on

HBOOT 0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL -SYNT0101

RADIO- 5.11.05.14

Can somebody please advise me if i can use app2sd+ whithout flashing on a custom rom or is that not possible.

I have read loads of posts but every post seems to offer conflicting advice.

All help appreciated from a noob :p

Thanks
[Desire General] ksavai:
I am also relatively new to this but after lots of reading about it in different forum and post, you need to have ROM which supports app2sd+.

I just flash Leedroid last week after rooting and everything is perfect as of now.

Just follow the steps.

Good luck
[Desire General] lman00:
Hi,

AFAIK you need to have a ROM that supports it. I would suggest defrost, if you don't want to stick with Sense. I had problems with LeeDroid.
[Desire General] negative13:
You're using stock rom right?

You have to enable init.d so a2sd+ can work.
[Desire General] midnightflash:
I appreciate to use a custom ROM in this case.

And to get something quite similar in the handling like the original you are using right now: try either LeeDroid or AuraxTSense... both quite stable fast and battery saving.

But you will have to put a so called EXT-partition on your sd-card. Easiest done with "Rom Manager" from the market.

I installed official 2.2 via Kies right over rooted 2.1 with no issues. After the install, TiBu was still there, but would not work until I rooted 2.2. What I am saying is that, in my experience, flashing back to stock before updating via Kies was not necessary and by skipping that step all of my aps, SMS, and call logs migrated over seamlessly.
